Some people experience stomach upsets from digesting vegetables, which are high in fiber. The body is not able digest fiber and in excess fiber can cause stomach upsets. So if you want to define a toxic substance by "...a conflict between the body and an outside substance, then an inability to properly digest...", then fiber is mildly toxic. Do you really want to argue definitions? Cause this will go 'round in circles. Futhermore, Mushrooms are made up of mostly water, fiber and carbohydrate, not protein.
Now, if you wish to consider Psilocybin toxic, then again, yes Panaeolus mushrooms are mildy toxic... including Psilocybes, Copelandia, Gymnopilus, any mushroom containing the active chemical psilocybin. But most here make a distinction between psilocybin and other "toxic" chemicals, because the mix up that could easily occurr if we start referring to Galerina autumnalis as a toxic mushroom along with Psilocybe cubensis as a toxic mushroom. It might be mistook that toxic entails active, thus psilocybin.
I would not consider Panaeolus species toxic.

Gotcha CureCat, it is pointless. Anyways notice the bruising on my previous pictures, thats within 1 min after picking. They turn completely blue/green and eventually just flat out black. I'm not seeing any appreciable sense of that in his finds. Anyways, im sure he already knows its not atlantis now anyways so ill let this post drop.
Oh, and fuck me, that is infact no way a pan, dunno what I was thinking last night.

I was chased by haitians in the main city charlotte amalie when my girlfriend and I got some cocaine for free in a bar and mixed it with alcohol, to form a stronger drug. With such confidence at 2am, we walked the 4-5 or so miles down to the beach where the african slaves lie like lions waiting on tourist prey. The war isen't on drugs... the war is on the causes that influence people to abuse drugs. drug-abuse is a by-product of the system and much like radioactive waste occurs from utilizing nuclear power, drug addicts with drug-problems will need to be properly disposed of, like the decaying radioactive waste produced from nuclear energy. -i2ancid

Exactly what I was thinking. They are 100% Conocybe. P. atlantis has viscid caps and really looks nothing like that.

I agree that they are Conocybes but bluing/active conocybes are not unknown. It seems unlikely, but it is possible. It might be worth a closer examination.

Some parts of it don't look like grass when zoomed in on. The quality is not that great though.

I agree that it's unlikely to be one of the bluing conocybes... maybe it got there some other way... some kind of dye getting on it from something that it touched..  I don't know, it's hard to say much of anything without actually having them or talking directly with the poster that found the specimens.
